Just graduated with my art degree from usu last May. Education should be accessible for everyone at every school. Each field should be offered to the students. I don’t know where I would be without my professors, fellow classmates, and friends I made in the program. Not only do I have a support system for life but a degree I will use and be proud of.
Olivia supported: You can't erase Art- Include "Art" in the naming of the new collegeArts is what makes life worth living. If we take away arts we’re taking away peoples creativity. Arts helps us express ourselves in a positive way.
Stevie supported: You can't erase Art- Include "Art" in the naming of the new collegeSaw the Lowriders special on KCRA Channel 3 in the Stockton, Sacramento and Modesto area. I'm 64 and originally from the SFV. I remember cruising back in the 70s, 80s those where some of my husband's and my best times of our lives. I sent you're petition to family and friends in hope that they'll sign it then forward to their friends and extended families. Great documentary on LowRiders, you should have a weekly show to share with others who don't know much about how it means to be a LowRider. Happy Holidays to all, wishing you peace, happiness, love and a right to Cruise without being harassed.
Sue supported: Wendy Carrillo: The right to cruise Whittier Blvd to preserve the culture of East Los Angeles.For 7 years I had several issues with my apartment which were well documented and they were sent to both the landlord and the building management. My rent was increased 2 times while I had a bucket above my stove for over 8 months due to a leak that nearly caused an electrical fire. They told me it was fixed and the bucket could be removed, had I listened to that email and used my stove, water would’ve fallen on my electric stove. The day they sent that email, I was in an email thread with 4 other people on the 5th floor that had similar issues. They all had leaks the same day as well. I called housing, they told me not to pay the increased rent amount, and despite informing the building as to why the rent increase wasn’t paid, they began eviction proceedings. I have photo and video proof, email proof, text message proof, cloud back up proof of every single thing stated here.
Sebastien supported: Stop Unfair Treatment of Read’s Artspace TenantsAs a community, we should be investing in the arts—not cutting them. Choir programs like the freshman choir and Freestyle ensemble at BHS offer students more than just a chance to sing. They teach discipline, teamwork, confidence, and provide a creative outlet that many students rely on for their mental and emotional well-being. Cutting funding for these programs takes away opportunities for students to grow and express themselves. Please reconsider this decision and prioritize the arts as a vital part of a well-rounded education.
Kellie supported: Save the CHOIR program at Burnsville High SchoolFreestyle has changed high school for me entirely, without it high school would just be a drag on my mental health
Samuel supported: Save the CHOIR program at Burnsville High SchoolIn this day and age we are all living in fear and music allows us express our emotions and has been seen through history with the development of soul music, punk music and so many more genres that were made to express and speak out. Getting rid of choir is eradication of voices that are in need to be heard it may seem small and insignificant to some but it truly is something that teaches students to be more than themselves. I beg of the ids191 district to reconsider and to understand that defunding the arts is taking away our voices.
Will supported: Save the CHOIR program at Burnsville High SchoolI’ve had the honor of working with these students over the past year and have been truly inspired by the passion these students exude through their music. What their choir director was been able to coach and develop in these singers is absolutely incredible. Emily, has created a supportive and inclusive environment for all of her students. I wish I had teachers and classes like this when I was in high school. For many of these students, cutting some of the choral programs at the high school eliminates one of the few classes where they are seen as an individual and their individual skill sets are catered to with a personalized curriculum that challenges and encourages them. We need more arts programs not less.
John supported: Save the CHOIR program at Burnsville High SchoolBeing in a choir in high school is one of the fondest memories I still have of high school. It created a deep love for the arts and an appreciation of them that I would have never known if not for choir. The top leveled groups inspired me to love a variety of music, and the introductory classes helped me gain skills that I still use today. Music feeds my soul in ways nothing else ever has, and for that, I will always support and encourage full musical options in schools.
Victoria supported: Save the CHOIR program at Burnsville High SchoolAs a graduate of Burnsville High School, and as someone who was a part of the choir department at BHS, choir taught me so much about myself and most importantly it gave me an outlet to be myself. Without that singing outlet, I don’t know how I would have managed being a student, I don’t know the kind of person I would be because I still carry the lessons I learned as an adult to this day. Students should continue to be given the opportunity to be a part of these choirs! BHS prides themselves on their pathways system, yet they want to eliminate two vital groups to this pathway? The message that they are sending is that the Fine Arts pathway is not as important as the other ones, which is not inclusive of all students and their post secondary aspirations.
